Draw is possible if we can bowl the Aussies out cheaply and occupy the crease long enough to post a decent total...Yeah I'm probably stating the obvious but what has to be done needs to be done if we're gonna avoid heavy defeat, with or without the help of nature.

I want to see our boys in action, too. But..considering the fact that we have given Aussies a tough time in Dhaka and our collapse in the first innings of CTG test...I can't decide whether I should be accepting two days of rain or two sessions of our dismal batting and an innings defeat. I don't want to finish this test badly for the sake of having a good morale for the upcoming ODIs.

There is so much pontificating going on about not being an honourable draw if it was rain affected. Yet many in this forum felt perfectly ok arguing about Ponting when they very well knew that Aftab was out.

I think rain can bring about an excellent "test" for Bangladesh. Say, Australia bat another 2 hours [ I feel they might declare after Hussey's century ]. Declare at lunch, with a lead, say, of 260.

I do not think Bangladesh can hold out for 5 sessions. However, if one or two sessions were rain affected - it could be a tense finish - and certainly a true "test" for Bangladesh whether they could draw a match under pressure.
